Monroe has a Quick Strut complete strut assembly for many cars, now KYB is coming out with them too (not to mention other companies like Gabriel, Tokico, etc.)
I was thinking: is there really any reason at all NOT to get a complete strut assembly? Is it a no-brainer? Obviously, there is more flexibility if you pick and choose the individual components you want--shock absorber, strut mount, bump stop, boots, insulators, etc. but for the far majority of people, why would you care?
The complete strut is significantly cheaper than purchasing the individual components, and I will presume that it's all pre-assembled correctly. Since it's a good idea to replace ALL the components (especially the strut mount) instead of using any of the old stuff, the complete strut makes even more sense.
Am I basically correct?
